RE: Mosquito traps, made simple!
The video works great. I think the longer text slides near the beginning could be kept onscreen a little longer and the completed cups with the numbering could move along a little faster. I didn't know about this trapping method but I always wondered if outdoor traps just attracted new mosquitos to the area and so it is a problem that you can't stop in an environment prone to mosquitos. (The inverse benefit of the voting power drip - remove so it keeps coming!) That is why I always thought candles and smoke that kept mosquitos away was a better option. I'm sure there are a lot of variables that would also need to be tested like range of mosquitos and how fast they can reproduce etc. Let me know if it is effective for you. Thanks!!
Will do! And thanks a lot for the feedback, I had both thoughts myself after I watched it full-screen after uploading it, but decided I had spent enough time.
As far as candles, they work when you're near them, like on a porch or something, but if you're in the yard or garden, then either they don't work as well, or you need a lot of them.
The neat part about these traps is, they don't trap adult mosquitoes! They merely convince them to lay their eggs in the trap, which doesn't let them back out once hatched. So it will take a couple weeks, once we set them out, but after that we should notice a marked drop in mosquito bites.
The feedback really helps -- I will spend more time on the next one, because it's noticed. Thanks again!
You created the traps and the video at the same time so kudos to you. It's easy to be a critic!
